What is difference *in America* between a bachelor's degree awarded 'with honors' and one awarded without - and do 'honors students' and other students follow different courses at undergraduate level?

I can't tell you what the difference is between the degrees awarded, though I should be able to, but I can tell you that, at least at the university I attended, honors students DO take different classes. For the brief period I was at school, I was offered the honors course and DID take honors English. I didn't finish school, though. My little sister, however, took honors classes all through school and graduated with a BA with honors in Anthropology. While the degree courses weren't different on all counts, a certain number of credits in honors classes had to be taken to graduate with honors. Feb 19 05, 8:47 PM

I think that at each school "honors" mean different things...some are based on grades, some are based on special courses, and some are based on kissing the Dean's butt. Feb 20 05, 11:01 AM
